Top 10 First Foods for Your Primal Baby
By Primal Plate

When it comes to introducing solids, most parents are handed the same outdated advice: start with rice cereal and pureed fruits. But ancestral wisdom — and modern nutritional science — tells us there's a far better way.
Here are the top 10 first foods we recommend for babies starting at 6 months:
- Egg yolks from pasture-raised hens
- Liver (chicken or beef), gently cooked and pureed
- Bone broth — rich in collagen and minerals
- Avocado — healthy fats for brain development
- Wild-caught salmon — omega-3s for cognitive growth
- Grass-fed beef — iron and zinc in their most absorbable forms
- Raw butter — fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2
- Sweet potato — gentle carbohydrates with beta-carotene
- Fermented vegetables — probiotics for gut health
- Full-fat yogurt (raw if possible) — calcium and beneficial bacteria
These foods provide the dense nutrition that growing babies need, without the empty calories and allergens found in processed baby foods.
